[Abby is talking with Mrs. Mallard in her lab]
[smiles] Did you know, that without those longshoreman tattoos, and that dog collar, you are the exact spitting image of my sister Gloria?
AbbyThank you!
[frowns] I hated her.
AbbyThis is so embarrassing. Okay, in my defense what self-respecting drug dealer cuts his cocaine with potassium cyanide?
Obviously one that doesn't care about repeat business.
Why didn't you come to me Abby?
AbbyBecause Gibbs, I wanted him restrained. Not beaten to a pulp with a baseball bat.
AbbyI'm a scientist, and he plays with voodoo dolls.
Uh, Abby, you play with voodoo dolls.
AbbyI meant metaphorically, McGee. I don't think they actually do anything. I just play with ‘em, y'know, to relax.
Bed time. I'll take the sleeping bag.
AbbyWe're adults, McGee. We can share the same bed.
[Seeing Abby playing with his typewriter] If you promise to keep your hands to yourself.
AbbyClearly, you haven't. Your shirt [Abby is wearing McGee's shirt] smells like J.Lo Glow. Oh, I can't find my toothbrush; I think it fell out in your car.
That's all right. Your old one's still in my bathroom.
AbbyYou kept my old toothbrush? That's a little creepy, McGee. Maybe you should take the sleeping bag.
What is creepy about it? I just never bothered to throw it out. (Abby brings a toothbrush out of the bathroom) What?
AbbyThis is not my toothbrush.
Well, then I must have bought a second one and forgot about it.
AbbyIt's a ladybug toothbrush McGee. It's for cute girls named Gina Marie that bake cookies and wear J.Lo Glow. Not for quasi-manly federal agents who carry a gun.
Are you going to use it or not?
AbbyAn anonymous toothbrush? I'd rather remove my own tonsils with Typhoid Mary's straight razor.
Where are you going?
AbbyTo get my toothbrush.
No. No, you're not leaving the apartment.
AbbyWhy not McGee? We both know Gibbs is just being over-protective.
I'm not worried about you. I'm worried about me if Gibbs finds out I let you leave.
AbbyThat's a really good point. You go.
I'm not leaving you alone either.
AbbyFine then I'll just use your toothbrush.
(grabs his coat) Do not answer the door for anyone. (leaves)
(someone knocks on the door, Abby answers it)
I told you not to answer the door for anyone!
AbbyWhat'd you forget?
My keys.
AbbyWhy do you need your keys if I'm here?
My car keys. Now, you do not answer the door for anyone. (Abby gives him a mock salute) Anyone, or I will tie you up.
Abby(excited) Really?
Coordinate with Abby.
Boss, you're gonna have to try and get her out of the elevator first.
[Gibbs goes to the elevator, where Abby is sitting in the corner holding a stun gun]
AbbyHey Gibbs. [elevator closes] Did you know that only 5 of the 2½ million deaths each year occur in elevators?
Nobody is going to hurt you, Abby.
AbbyYou're just saying that to make me feel better.
Did it?
AbbyYeah, can you say it again?
Nobody's gonna hurt you, Abs.
We just got off on the wrong foot.
AbbyThe wrong foot?!? The only right foot is my foot up your a--
Abby!
Abby...Because I think that this - might all be my fault...
Maybe it is.
AbbyHow can you say that, Gibbs? Just because some - some defective lunatic can't get it into his head that I think he is a defective...lunatic... That is not my fault. It's not my fault at all... It's not my fault. [realizing it really isn't her fault] it's not my fault. Huh. [picks up a hammer and chisel] I see why you like to work on the boat, Gibbs. Very, very cathartic. [puts the tools on the boat and breaks off a chunk] Oops. [gives Gibbs back his tools]
[Tony & Gibbs have just found Abby, (who is in a very "Wonder Woman" pose) repeatedly shocking the hitman with her stun gun]
AbbyI'll be with you in a minute, Gibbs. [continues shocking the man] And don't look up my skirt!
[laughing, nods in approval] Okay.
[Abby has come up to the squad room to take pictures of the dead man.]
AbbyWhy do I feel like everyone's staring at me?
Because they are.
AbbyDid I do something wrong?
Have you ever been to Disneyland, Abby?
AbbyEvery summer.
Yeah. You know those camera toting tourists with white socks up to their knees wearing fannypacks?
AbbyWell, yeah. We spend half the time laughing about [Abby looks down- she is wearing white knee length socks and a plaid skirt and has a camera around her neck]-- oh, my God. I've turned into my Uncle Larry.
AbbyWhat are you not telling me?
What do you mean?
AbbyYou have that three-little-pigs-look.
What?
AbbyThe three little pigs. They were afraid to open the door because the big bad wolf was outside.
I don't know what are you talking about. (Something rings...)
AbbyWow... this is definitely going on my wall. (Ziva walks in)
I should be a professional photographer!
AbbyThe Director hasn't called.
About?
AbbyAbout?! Gibbs!
Oh...
AbbyShe didn't call you, did she?
No.
AbbyBecause, you know, the way you're acting, you might have just, I don't know, forgotten to tell.
Ziva, do you notice anything different in here?
No music.
That's it! No music. (He looks at Abby) You know, you usually play music in here...
AbbyWhat if those were Gibbs' guts smooshed all over that room?
Oh, for God's sake, Abby, they're not.
AbbyWhat if they were?!
The color would be more coffee-brown than red.
(Abby slaps her on the face, Ziva slaps her back, Abby slaps her again and so does Ziva. McGee looks shocked).
[gets his gun and badge back from Tony, gives him a long look] You'll do.
[Gibbs puts his gun and badge in Tony's hands, and squeezes his shoulder]
It's your team now. [turns to McGee] You're a good agent, Tim. Don't let him tell you otherwise.
I won't, boss.
AbbyGibbs... [Gibbs puts his finger over Abby's lips and kisses her on the cheek]
[walks back to Ziva] I owe you, Ziva.
I'll collect, Jethro.
Who was that?
AbbyWhere?
On the phone.
AbbyOh, um, it was the nuns.
Nuns?
AbbyYeah, y'know, nuns with the big white hats and the --
Habits. Yeah, they're called habits, the white hats.
AbbyYep, that's right. They called… to say that bowling was canceled.
[amused] Bowling nuns.
AbbyGeez, McGee, what are you on some kind of anti-nun crusade here?
[Abby and McGee are asleep at their computers. Gibbs walks in.]
[whispers to Abby] Your computer's on fire.
Abby[wakes up] AHH! McGee! My baby's french-frying! [starts typing furiously]
[wakes and starts typing] Checking internal core temperature!
[after a few seconds, Abby turns around]
AbbyThat is so not funny, Gibbs!
